Paleo Ketchup: The perfect Fourth of July condiment!

Fourth of July is this weekend and families across the US will be firing up their grills, slicing into watermelon (my favorite summer snack), making their favorite desserts, lighting a few sparklers and celebrating our nation’s independence with their friends.

Who can have hamburgers and hot dogs without ketchup? Okay, I know there is a debate on this one, and I have to say that I am in ketchup’s corner. But when I started reading ingredient labels and realized it's half corn syrup, I decided to play around with a healthy, homemade ketchup.

I used dried chili peppers so it's sorta half BBQ sauce half ketchup, but I love the result! You could make it without the peppers for a more standard ketchup. Don’t tell your friends it’s homemade and let’s see if they even notice the difference!
